Muckaway:
The “Company Grass” was an unofficial company newsletter called “Donkey News” written by a driver who lightheartedly reported on damage to vehicles/property etc. Dependant on how much damage, you got “Donkey Points” which were added up and at the end of the year someone got awarded “Golden Donkey” a plastic toy donkey some wag painted gold and glued on a bit of wood. Certain people didn’t see the funny side, and the “News” was ended about 18months ago.
I wonder if the editor was a member of TruckNet
No, wasn’t me I didn’t have access to a computer then. I have been reported on it though; some womans’ electric gates kept closing on us doing a riding arena one day; she wouldn’t keep them open because it would mean leaving her dogs in a barn, They closed on me twice, but there was no third time

Hope Callum doesn’t get to hear about all these japes,could corrupt him .
Dave the Renegade:
Me thinks you took a crafty pic,when he wasn’t looking .
I took this one and left it as a screensaver on Pete James’ work phone (the driver who keeps the 4w Volvo immaculate)
I got a rather un-christian phonecall from him when he switched his phone on a few days later
Would that be a self pic of yon self or the other chap
Yours truly, taken on Pete’s phone while I was driving his on his day off You wouldn’t think he was a parish councillor judging from his “vocabulary”
I was one of those up until a couple of months ago,covering several parishes,doesn’t say much .
Was that among the sheep Dave or the Parishoners? and as for that shot on what sounds like a very decent blokes phone! all I can say is " Ah said,ah said,you sure is ugly Boy" “don’t you come down my Bayoo boy or I’ll haul 'yoo arse” Anon.
M G b:
I see one of the new DAFs going down the M5 beetween Tewkesbury and Cheltenham about 07:30 on Friday and this morning.
That’s Tim the Broadway Quarry driver he’s got the other new one. I think he’s parking at Duns Tew soon as Broadways just running it’s stock out. He would’ve been going to Wickwar for a stock load to Gill Mill as I saw him in Gill Mill mid morning. He’ll have some travelling to Duns Tew as he lives in Ch/Campden, a good run in the winter.

Question,are the Cotswolds running out of stone,sand and ballest or are there still plenty of deposits to be opened up still? Dennis.

We’ve got a pit that we took over near Burford (well, 2 we’ve got an ex ARC one that’s mothballed aswell) that covers the Cotswolds and West Oxford; gravel-wise, we don’t do an awful lot into the Cotswolds as such because they’re Tamac, Cullimore, Agg Industries, Hanson and Hills all competing in that area. smithsbletchington.co.uk/ind … &Itemid=88

Very interesting the info on your employer Nathan,thanks! and why isn’t your “mug shot” and resume’ on the site as you are doing a great job of flying the company flag as the Archivist on the fleet!!! Dennis.
JAKEY:
You can see your wagon , " its the dirty one"
Yep, it looks like it’s earning They’ve setup sprinkler heads off the wash hoses at Gill Mill so washing downs a bit hard although a combination of dust and constant water bowser on the haul road means speckled paint jobs for all anyway. I’ve shifted 24 loads in 2 days so I think I’ll be forgiven…
